Tho Century for January.

The Americanism of THE CENTURY
20 e.i.iSstSa - tissa.....sse ,.r,. Or -si.s
January number. Except q short
communication, IL Is wholly written
by Americans. Its subjects are for
the most part American and chiefly
those of close and present interest to
our people, such as Lincoln and the
life of the West in the last generation
the great events of the Civil War; our
material standing in comparison with
other nations; the Labor question; the
Prohibition movement; the need of an
International Copyright, ETC., etc,
Where the subjects are not American,
as in the papers on the French sculp-
tors and the French actor, Coquelin,
they are closely related to our art life
by the excellence of the artists con-
sidereJ and the writer's are we'll
known hmcricou critics.
Readers of the life of Lincoln, by
Nicolay and Hay, will be grateful for
the liberal portions of that work
which are presented to them from
month to mouth.
Following his paper on the Food
Question, in the December number
Mr.. Edward Atkinson contributes an
other on ''The Relative Strength and
Weakness of Nations, being the first
of Two Studies in the Application of
Statistics to Social Science"
In n paper on Comets and Meteors, {"
in the New Astronomy" series, Pro-
lessor S. p. Langley, the astronomer,
gathers up the most recent scientific
knowledge of his subject, illustrating
it by graphic comparisons which quick
ly awaken the imagination of the read
ers. Among the pictures are wood-cuts
of comets and of a meteoric shower.
The fiction comprises the opening
chapters of Mr.. Cables new Acadian
story, "Carancro," the scene of which
is located in the Teche country of
Louisiana. and which has the attrac-
tiveness of dealing with love and war.
In addition to the above there are
yet to he mentioned the papers in the
War Series, which, though occupying
less space than formerly, deal compre-
hensively with what is probable the
most interesting part of the Gettys-
burg fight-the Third day.
The poetry includes she Came and
Went" by James d. Kenyon; Calm"
by John Vance Cheney; and, in "BrIc-
a-3rac," ITO Critic" by Walter
Learned, and ''Mourned," by Mrs. ID.

One of the interesting peculiarities

we in turn are denounced as too COW.

Now, Mr.. Free Press, the prejudice
of war will not remain in the hearts OF

time for "the prejudice of war" to
step down and out. But don't de-
